WS/GS Question

REG in June, off last 5 days of month
RES in JULY, off first 9

If I want to pick up a trip that has some spill, is that allowed? How does it affect credit for July and if I want to put in a generic 3 or 4 day, how would I do this in PCS?

Thanks

I see you edited your post. Good. I hope they buy a second type. Costs go up. And we all know how great 50 seaters are. bwaaa haaaa haaaaaa Strange for a bean counter CEO to make that kind of decision though....

I'm projected to go to 7ER requal in Oct, and my current CQ cycle is Aug-Oct. I'm 1 from the bottom, so while I'll bid to avoid going early, I get whats left.

Is it worth a call to resources to suggest delaying CQ, or will they laugh me off the phone?

Just put in for any trip you want in June using the normal WS process. Anything you are legal for will be awarded regardless of your reserve status in Jul. You could be awarded a 12 day trip on 30 June if you want.
There is however a big gotcha. Trip credit is paid at the end of the rotation so would go against your reserve guarantee for July. That means pick your trip carefully!

If reserve guarantee is 82, how would a trip with credit at the end negatively affect it? Thanks

What about a normal 4 day, with 15 hours in June and 5 hours of Spill?

The bottom line is this. If scheduling gets hold of you AND you can make legally make the trip as it is constructed, you must fly it. However, that is the only stipulation--IF you can make it. You are not obligated to be contactable, abstain from alcohol, or be anywhere near any airport at all.

Some guys just put in a blanket GS for every day of the month (perhaps they are very rare in their category) and may get one or two a year. That doesn't mean that they actually have to be available. But...if you say "12 hours notice required" and scheduling calls you for a GS 18 hours out, it is yours.

That's not true. You still have to be contacted and notified. You are still under zero obligation to answer your phone. You might be thinking about white slips. Green slips always require positive contact and acknowledgement.

Your unbridled SWA hatred is once again affecting your vision. :p
